Hi! I’ve worked with over 40 families, including several long-term (over a year with some). I provide reliable, nurturing childcare and can assist with meal prep and light housekeeping when combined with child care (for an additional fee). I’m CPR/First Aid certified and happy to help with homework support. I’m currently looking for a long-term, part-time position with a great family. Previously, I lived in Colombia for 2 years, where I taught kindergarten through 2nd grade, and also led extracurricular classes for middle school students. Was teaching English for kids in some villages in Bali. I also worked as a personal assistant, so I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and family dynamics. I speak English, Indonesian, and Spanish, and I love animals so dogs and cats are always welcome. In my free time, I’m very active and love trying new sports , currently doing horseback riding and crossfit and I’ve also enjoyed archery, bouldering, and other adventurous activities.
200+ bookings on Urban Sitter! CPR and first aid certified. Joined Urban Sitter in May 2022, but long history of babysitting and nannying. Cared for as young as 10 weeks old through 14 years old and siblings. Feel free to read my reviews from my wonderful families and ask any questions :)
Hi Families! I’m Daisia and my background in Child Development & Family Studies, paired with my hands-on experience with children of all ages-from infants to adolescents-has shaped a genuine love for what I do. I’ve worked with multiples, including twins, and truly enjoy creating a supportive, engaging environment for children to grow and thrive. It would be a pleasure to join your family and team.
“Daisia was great! Prompt, communicative, caring, and easygoing. My 2yo daughter got along with her instantly. ”
Hello Families! My name is Sara. I have both professional and personal experience in caring for children of all ages. I am CPR and AED certified. I am trilingual with fluency in English and Amharic, and limited working proficiency in Spanish. I also have previous K-5 tutoring experience and as a college student myself, I understand the value of education. I am very active and have no problem playing with little ones for long periods of time. I am open to offering homework assistance, teaching practical skills, taking children outside or to practice, helping within the house (cooking, laundry, errands, planning, light tidying,etc) and anything else you may need in between. I also have experience in pet care (dog-walking and cat-sitting). I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and supportive. It would be my pleasure and goal to help make your daily routine easier in any way I can.
Hello families! I’m a professional full-time nanny and a teacher with a genuine passion for working with children and supporting their growth and development. My experience in both childcare and education helps me create an environment that is safe, nurturing, engaging, and age-appropriate. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and dependable, and I enjoy combining fun activities with opportunities for children to learn, explore, and develop new skills. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting during my days off, weekday evenings, and date nights, depending on my schedule. I can assist with dinner, playtime, bedtime routines, and educational activities, while making sure children feel comfortable and cared for. I know that trust is essential when choosing a babysitter, and I prioritize safety, clear communication, and respecting each family’s routines and preferences. Whether you need a reliable sitter for a date night or occasional childcare, I’d be happy to connect with your family. I look forward to meeting you!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
